Chapter One – The Hills Have Eyes

"I don't think we're going to make it." Teagan said as she blew out a breath while looking out the window. She glanced up, seeing a faint flash of lighting on the horizon. It was clear to see a storm was on the way, a very bad storm that could keep them from reaching home in time.

"We'll make it." Avery said back, trying to put her mind at ease.

Teagan turned away from the window and glanced over at her blonde best friend beside her. Her eyes shifted down to look at the gas gauge, seeing how close it was it was to empty, before adding, "Are you sure about that?"

Avery glanced down at the gauge for a moment, then looked back at the road. "I'm sure." She tapped the dash, as she added, "My baby will get us home." She knew her 1965 Mustang better than anyone.

"If you say so." Teagan teased. She let out a chuckle as she laid her head back against the head rest and let out a sigh, before saying, "You know, as much fun as I had in San Francisco with you, I am glad to be heading home."

"Same here." Avery said.

"Is Derek back yet?" Teagan questioned. He left town around the time the girls did to help Satomi and her pack.

"No. He said he'll be a few more days."

"I bet you're missing him."

Avery nodded her head, as she said, "Yeah, I miss his big-"

"Avery!" Teagan exclaimed, as she snapped her head to the side to look at her friend with wide eyes.

"What? I was going to say heart." Avery said innocently.

"You were not!" Teagan argued with a laugh, knowing how dirty the blonde's head was. She cleared her throat, then to change the subject, added, "Well I miss Aspen, my dad, my bed and-"

"Your fiance." Avery interrupted in a sing-song voice, as she shot a smile over at her brunette friend.

Teagan laughed then looked down at the diamond ring on her finger. She smiled as she said, "Yes, my fiance. I really miss my fiance." It was a little strange referring to him as a fiance instead of boyfriend, but a good strange. It was a word she was quickly loving to use, no matter how many times she said the word, she would never grow tired of it.

"I still can not believe you two are engaged." Avery said. It had been a few months since Isaac popped the question while they celebrated their year anniversary, and she was incredibly happy for them. She had been rooting for them since the beginning, ever since she sat down with Isaac at lunch to invite him to her party since Teagan was starting to feel things for him and wanted more time around him to figure those feelings out. That day, she saw exactly how much Isaac liked her best friend and knew they would be good together. From that moment on she had been the captain of the TI ship.

After he popped the question, Teagan called her to tell her the news, she squealed so loud she had no doubt every werewolf in the world heard. "We have so much planning to do." She added.

"It's not like we are getting married tomorrow, A!" Teagan exclaimed, as she laughed at her friend. "We have to finish high school and college first. It'll be at least five years, if not more."

"Doesn't mean we can't plan the bachelorette party now." Avery pointed out with a laugh of her own. While most girls dreamed of their wedding day, Avery always thought about the party she wanted to throw for her best friend when the day came, and that day was here.

"That can wait for about five or so years too." Teagan said.

"Hell no!" Avery argued. "My bestie is getting married. I say we throw a bachelorette party every year until you do get married."

"Only you would suggest that." Teagan said with a laugh, as she looked over at her friend.

"Damn right I would." She said. "I'm Avery Dukate. Party queen of Beacon Hills."

"That you are." Teagan said, agreeing, as she laid her head back against the seat again to rest her eyes for a moment. She felt like she didn't sleep much while she and Avery were away. It wasn't cause of the bed, the rooms at the place Chris Argent owned were comfortable and homely. It was mostly cause the two girls tried to pack in so much in the couple of weeks they were gone. Any place Allison ever mentioned to them in the past, they wanted to check it out. They wanted to feel as close to their fallen friend as possible.

The two friends were silent for a moment, listening to the upbeat song playing from the radio. When a new song started, Teagan opened her eyes then looked over at Avery, as she said, "Thanks, A."

"For what?" The blonde asked confused, as she looked at her for a moment before looking back at the road.

"For this. The trip. I think it's exactly what we needed." Teagan said.

"I think so too." Avery said. "Besides, we always talked about this. Taking a trip before our senior year."

"Yeah, but then I moved away briefly." Teagan stated.

"Then we had to deal with werewolves, rouge hunters, psychos, hit lists, a homicidal lizard-"

"Alphas, your mom coming back from the dead and having to kill her again." Teagan interrupted.

"Sacrifices, your mother haunting you, onis..." Avery continued. Her voice cracked for a moment, as she softly added, "Losing Allison."

"Almost losing you." Teagan quietly said, as she looked over at her best friend, remembering when she had her breakdown and tried to kill herself again.

"And I did lose you." Avery said back, her tone just as pained as Teagan's. She would never get the vision out of her head of seeing her best friend bleeding on the ground.

"But you brought me back." Teagan stated, as she flashed her a small smile, remembering how Avery put herself under to reach Teagan in bardo and bring her back. She was grateful for it, but months later, she couldn't get her mother's warning from her head.

She told her she couldn't go back, that there would be consequences. She didn't know what, but the thought of what could happen has haunted her since. She never told Avery or Isaac, but sometimes she wondered if she should have even come back at all.

It's not that she didn't want to live. All she wanted was a long, happy life with her friends, father and Isaac, but if it meant something bad would happen to her loved ones, she would rather not be alive.

"And I always will, T." Avery promised. "You know I need you more than you need me."

"That's not true."

"It is." The blonde argued, as she looked over at her for a moment. "Without your light in my life, I don't know if I can fight the darkness, T."

"You are stronger than you think." Teagan said, as she looked over at her. "You tell me that all the time, since we were kids, and the same goes for you too."

Avery gave her a short nod, but didn't say anything. Some days she didn't feel as strong as Teagan believed she was. She still had a lot of urges to fight; the urge to drink, the urge not to tap into her powers, to stay away from the darkness, but somehow, through everything here she was. She made it to her senior year- they all did, and she had to believe this was just the beginning of something good.

She remembered Scott telling her recently something Deaton told him; that life can't ever be all bad or all good. Eventually things have to come back to the middle. Lately things have pretty much been in the middle for all of them, meaning things were gonna get really good again... Or really bad.

For the next several minutes, the girls talked about random things and sang loudly along to the radio, until Teagan's cell phone began to ring. As Avery reached out to turn the music down, Teagan answered the call and put it on speaker as she called out a friendly greeting.

"Hey, babe." Isaac's voice came through the phone, causing the brunette to smile. "Are you back yet?"

"Not quite." Teagan answered. "We got a later start than we planned. There was one more thing we wanted to do before leaving."

"Are they here yet?" The girls overheard Stiles' question. Isaac ignored him, as he asked his fiancee,"What did you do?"

Before Teagan could answer, they heard Stiles call out Isaac's name, which he ignored. Stiles called his name over and over again until the beta finally snapped and asked him what, causing the girls to laugh out loud.

"Are they here yet?" Stiles asked again.

"No!" Isaac snapped, his voice coming out in a growl.

"My bad." Stiles said, as he held up his hands.

Isaac turned around, his back toward Stiles, as he tried to get a little privacy while he talked to Teagan, but before he could say anything else to her, Stiles spoke up again, "They're going to make it back in time, right?"

"They'll be here." Isaac told him, as he turned back to look at him, seeing the look of panic on his face.

"How do you know? You didn't ask." Stiles pointed out.

"I don't have to ask." Isaac said. "I know they'll be back in time. They told me earlier today when I called."

"Well ask again." Stiles said, as he gestured toward the phone.

"I'm not asking again." Isaac argued.

As the two began to argue back and forth, Avery laughed, then said, "Tell Captain Paranoid, we'll be there in about an hour."

"An hour?" Isaac whined. "Babe-" He began to say, trying to get Teagan's attention. It felt like forever since he last saw her and he didn't think he could wait another hour.

"Or it might be sooner." Avery interrupted him. "I'm taking as many back roads as I can and hauling ass to get back there."

"No, take the hour." Isaac said. "You have precious cargo with you..." He began to say, making Teagan smile. "Take your time, I want my girl back in one piece."

"I'll deliver your girl back without a scratch on her." Avery promised.

Teagan chuckled at their banter, before speaking up, "I'll be home soon, babe."

"Okay." He said back. He was quiet for a moment, before whining again, "But an hour? An hour is such a long time."

"Don't be a baby, Lahey." Avery spoke up. "Besides, this is my T time, you gotta wait."

"Don't be a hater, Dukate." Isaac joked back.

"Just take care of baby beta and we will be back soon." Avery said, knowing they were keeping an eye on Liam tonight cause of the full moon.

"How is Liam doing?" Teagan asked, hoping it would start getting easier for him to stay in control soon.

"He's okay." Isaac said, as he turned to look at the huge tree in front of him, the one Liam was chained to.

"Hey, Teagan... Avery..." They heard Liam call out. "Can you tell them they can unchain me now?"

"You have him chained?" Teagan asked surprised. The last full moon they didn't chain him, but of course there was the incident that happened.

"I'm fine! Tell them I'm fine and they can let me go." Liam called out for the girls to hear him. He turned his attention to the guys, as he added again, "I'm fine. Just let me go."

"It's not that we don't trust you." Scott began to say, as he walked over toward his beta.

"It's that I don't trust you." Stiles added.

"Yeah, and after the last full moon-"

"It was one slip up." Liam said, interrupting Isaac.

"Liam, that was more than a slip up." Teagan said over the phone.

"There were a dozen calls to the Sheriff's Department about a 'monstrous dog-boy' running around the streets of Beacon Hills naked." Stiles added.

"Wait, why were you naked?" Avery questioned. "Just what were you up to that night, handsome?"

"Nothing!" Liam called out. As the three boys looked at him and the two girls were silent over the phone, he sighed, then added, "It was really hot out that night, okay."

As the girls began to laugh, Isaac said, "I feel your pain, man, but you can't be running around town free balling it."

"So you've never ran around town naked?" Liam questioned the older beta.

"Uh..." Isaac stuttered for a moment. "I'm on the phone... stop talking to me." He added, as he turned away from the others, causing Avery to laugh out loud.

"Why am I not surprised Isaac is running around town bare assed." The blonde said with a laugh. "Way to grab life by the balls, Lahey."

"Shut up, Dukate." Isaac said back. Turning his attention to his fiancee, he added, "I'll see you soon, babe."

"See you soon." Teagan said back, a chuckle leaving her lips as she laughed at them. "Love you."

"Love you too." He added, before ending the call.

The two friends were quiet for a moment after the phone call, until Avery spoke up, "How often do you think he does run around town naked? I hope he at least wears shoes, running bare foot would have to hurt like a bitch."

Teagan turned her head to look at her friend, before the two girls began to laugh out loud. That was the mood in the car for the rest of the drive and it was exactly what both girls needed.

After all they had been through this was exactly what they needed, a chance to be two teenage girls laughing about stupid things and about to embark on their last year before total freedom. It was the most normal the two had felt in a long time.

~()~

Close to an hour later, Teagan threw up her hand, waving bye to Avery as she pulled away from the Young house. Now alone, Teagan placed the strap from the bag on her shoulder, then grabbed the handle on the suitcase and began to walk toward the front door.

From the looks of it no one was home. There was a porch light on, as well as a lamp in the living room, but other than that the house was dark when she stepped inside. She left her bags by the door, as she glanced around for a moment.

"Dad?" She called out into the empty house. She assumed her dad was still at work, so she wasn't that surprised when he didn't answer back. She took a few steps forward, stopping by the stairs. She glanced up as she called out for Isaac.

Not hearing him call back is what surprised her. She figured he would be back home by now. She had called him once they made it to town and he told her he would meet her at the house.

She glanced around again, realizing someone else that was not running to greet her; her dog, Aspen. She threw out her arms, as she called out, "Aspen? Where are you, boy?"

Suddenly feeling like she was not alone, she slowly stuck her hand into the pocket of the jacket she was wearing, where she had a dagger hidden. She gripped the handle, pulling it out as she spun around to attack, until someone grabbed her wrist to stop her.

She blew out a breath when she realized it was Isaac who had come up behind her. She opened her mouth to speak but before she could utter a word his lips were against hers for a heated kiss. She released the dagger, hearing it hit the floor, before she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I could have stabbed you, you know?" Teagan mumbled against his lips in between kisses.

"I know, I didn't mean to scare you." Isaac stated, as he pulled back to look at her. He laid his hands on either side of her face, brushing her hair aside to really get a good look at her. "Two weeks, babe. Two, very long, weeks since I looked into these big, brown, doe eyes." While holding her face with his hands, he rubbed his thumb across her bottom lip, before adding, "Two weeks since I've kissed these lips. God, you have no idea how much I missed you."

"We have a lot of missed time to catch up on." She said, as she smiled up at him.

"Mm-hm." He said, with a nod. "Starting now." He added, as he grabbed her and tossed her over his shoulders, causing her to squeal out in surprise.

She called out his name with a laugh as he made his way up the stairs, taking them two at a time, then went down the hall to her bedroom. Once in the room, he placed her on her feet then stripped her jacket off, letting it fall to the floor.

"Isaac..." She began to say with a laugh, but before she could say anything else, his lips were on hers again.

The two continued to kiss, as he began to walk her over toward the bed. She let out another chuckle, as she asked where her father was in between kisses.

"He's still at work." Isaac answered, before moving his lips greedily against hers.

"And Aspen?" She questioned when he stopped kissing her long enough to remove her shirt and his own.

"He's out back. I let him out a few minutes before you got here." He answered, making her realize that is why the dog didn't greet her at the door. He was in the fenced in back yard playing.

Isaac laid his hands on her hips, then turned her around. He brushed her hair and bra strap from her shoulder, then laid his lips against her bare shoulder. He kissed across her shoulder over to her neck, then groaned out when she rubbed her butt against the front of his pants.

She rolled her head to the side, giving him better access to her neck, but as much as she was enjoying this, she knew they couldn't get too carried away. They had plans and if they cancelled those plans they would never hear the end of it from Stiles. He made everyone promise they would be at school that night for the senior scribe. It was important to him that all of them did it together, he was worried it would be one of the last things they all did together as a group.

"Babe?" Teagan softly said, trying to get his attention. "You know we don't have time for this. If we're late, Stiles will go crazy."

"He's already crazy." Isaac mumbled before attacking her neck again.

Teagan let out a chuckle, then said, "That may be true, but we still need to go. We can't do this now."

Isaac spun her back around to face him before lightly pushing her back to land on the bed. He crawled onto the bed, hovering above her, before saying, "Did you forget how fast I can be?"

She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer, then laughed out loud. "That's not something to brag about, babe."

He playfully rolled his eyes at her comment, then said, "I don't mean all the time. I mean, quickies."

Before she could say anything else, he leaned down to capture her lips and ran his hand down her side. He grinned against her lips when she let out a little moan. He had missed the little noises she made, he had missed the feel of her soft skin and her lips against his. He had missed everything having to do with her. When she first mentioned going on a trip with Avery, he thought it was a great idea for her to get away, and he still thought it was, but going 336 hours without her by his side was pure torture.

She ran her fingers through his hair, missing how his soft curls curved around her fingers. She pecked her lips against his a few more times, then pulled back to look at him. She brushed a curl or two from his forehead then said, "As much as I want you now, it's not the right time." She lightly touched the side of his face, then ran a finger over his bottom lip, before continuing, "Like you said, it's been two, very long, weeks, and I don't want a quickie with you, Isaac." She gave him a smile, then added, "I don't want a few minutes, I want several hours with you."

He nodded his head in agreement. He knew she was right, deep down he didn't want to rush it either. He just missed her so much and couldn't help himself when she walked in, her scent hitting him even before she opened the front door, he couldn't stop himself from kissing her in that moment.

He leaned down to give her a gentle kiss, then pulled back to smile at her, as he said, "You're right, but tonight when we get back, you're all mine."

"Deal." She said, as she laid a hand on the side of his neck and smiled back.

He lowered his head to kiss the inside of her wrist, then paused when he noticed something on it. He grabbed her hand from his face and turned it over to get a better look, realizing it was a small tattoo. He ran a finger over it, as he asked, "What is this? Is it real?"

"Yeah." She breathed out, as she looked down at the small arrow.

"What made you get it?" He questioned, as he ran a finger over it again then raised his head to look at her.

"Being in San Francesco, walking down the streets she use to, going into the stores she loved..." She began to say, making him realize she was talking about Allison. Tears filled her eyes, as she softly added, "That was the first time I had felt that close to her in a while and I didn't want that feeling to leave, so me and Avery got matching arrow tattoos to remember her. To remember all that she taught us, to be strong and be our own heroes."

"That was the last thing you had to do before leaving." He said, as a statement instead of a question. As she nodded to let him know he was right, he added, "So you like it there?"

"I loved it there."

"Enough to live there one day?" He questioned, thinking about their future.

She shrugged, as she said, "Maybe." She smiled at him, as she added, "I think you would love it too."

"I'll love anyplace you love, babe. I'll go where you go, remember?" He said, reminding her of what he had told her before. He kissed the inside of her wrist, understanding why it was so important for her to get the tattoo. He saw her look at the arrow and could already tell it helped her, it was like having a piece of Allison with her at all times.

He laid back on to the mattress and pulled her to him, letting her rest on his bare chest. The two were quiet for a moment, until he spoke up and said, "There is just one problem with San Francesco."

"What?" She asked, as she raised her head to look at him confused.

"You have to run it by Stiles first." Isaac joked. "He might not let us move that far away."

She laughed at his comment, then said, "Yeah, he is really serious about all of us staying close together." Remembering a talk she had with some of her friends earlier that summer, she added, "I think it'll be okay though, Kira is thinking about going to University of San Francisco and Lydia's going to Stanford. Avery said she is definitely staying in state, and Malia is... still figuring it out, but looks like his plan might work after all."

"Earlier tonight, when we were watching Liam, he had a map. An actual map and was pointing out areas to look for apartments." Isaac said. "He's more than serious about it, he's like obsessed with it. He kept asking me where we were going to apply."

"What did you tell him?" Teagan asked.

"I told him it was none of his damn business." Isaac answered, causing her to chuckle.

"He has sent me countless texts the last few months wanting to know my college choices."

"What did you tell him?" He questioned, asking the same thing she did. He was actually very curious about her answer. One of the last times they talked about college they ended up fighting so he had no idea where she planned to apply. He knew she had college brochures from all over, he found them on her desk once. What scared him the most were the brochures she had for schools out east. She assured him she wasn't going anywhere without him, but even after dating for a year and being engaged, there were still times he feared losing her.

"I told him I wasn't sure yet." She answered. "We still need to talk about it."

"Yeah, we'll talk about it." He quietly said, as his mind raced. During the argument about college, he admitted to her he never planned to go to college, then later cause of the virus most of them were being affected by while taking their PSATs, he admitted his fears about college, but the college talks were dropped after that. But now with senior year around the corner, they couldn't put it off any longer.

Hearing her cell phone beep, letting her know she had a text, Teagan lifted her head to glance around, trying to remember where her phone was. When it went off again, she remembered she had it in her jacket pocket. She crawled to the end of the bed, then jumped off to race across the room to grab the jacket from the floor.

She pulled the phone out right as it went off again. She chuckled when she saw that all the messages were from Stiles, informing her that he was at the school and wondering where she and Isaac were. He told her now was not sexy time and to get there asap.

She sent him a quick text back, telling him they were on the way. She turned back toward the bed, seeing Isaac still laying there, his arms behind his head as he watched her. With the look that was on his face, she wanted to forget all about meeting her friends and properly catch up with him, but she knew they needed to go.

After all they had been through, the whole pack, deep down she knew Stiles was right, they all needed to stick together. They needed to celebrate that they made it. She knew it was what Allison would have wanted.

~()~

Avery pulled to a stop at the gas station pump with a proud smile as she eyed her dashboard gauges and saw the fuel tank gauge hovering just below the empty spot. Teagan had been telling her since just before they got into Beacon Hills that she needed to stop and fill up the tank, but Avery knew her car well enough to know how it handled and how far she could get on seemingly fumes alone.

She wasn't entirely sure why she put it off for so long, maybe she just didn't want to bother to stop until she could get clear of the traffic jam and onto some side streets that weren't badly affected from the storm passing through –or maybe she just didn't want to go home to an empty house with Derek still out of town and her dad watching Annabel, her cat.

Stepping out of the car she pulled the clip from her hair and absent-mindedly tossed it into the now empty passenger seat before shutting her door and shaking her hair out, enjoying the feel of wind as it carried with it the smell of rain and several nearby lilac trees.

Avery had a smile on her face as she walked into the gas station, she was feeling optimistic in spite of herself. Senior year was finally here and even though she'd been quite literally fighting for her life since sophomore year –she had a lot of things to be happy about. Including the best group of friends anyone could ever ask for –most of which she was looking forward to seeing later that night for senior scribe. No way was she going to let a storm of any size stop her from being there.

When her phone went off again from her pocket she pulled it out with a sigh and texted Stiles back letting him know she would be at the school that night. She understood he was getting nervous about them having one more school year together before they'd all probably split up for college, a fear that had her friend hell bent on coming up with a plan where nobody got left behind. He'd spent the better half of the summer mapping out a plan of college campuses that were a comfortable distance apart and apartments they'd be able to afford.

The truth was, she was worried about the future too. She couldn't stand the thought of not having all of her friends in the same town as her nor could she stand the thought of taking off with them and leaving Derek in Beacon Hills. Blowing out an anxious breath she tried to restore the optimism she'd felt moments ago, but it was long gone.

Pulling a bottle of lemonade from the cooler, she headed for the snack aisle to grab a few things for a make shift dinner. Picking up a bag of skittles, she slowly stood back up and looked over her shoulder as the unmistakable feeling of being watched prickled the back of her neck and erased any feeling of happiness that had been lingering.

Her eyes scanned the store but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Blowing out a breath, she shook her head and tried to ignore the feeling, but as she turned her head she caught her reflection in the reflective glass from the cooler door and gasped. Ever since Peter had put his claws in the back of her neck months ago, she'd felt different. A little more on edge to say the least –a feeling she'd started to lose the longer she was in San Francisco with Teagan, but was now returning full force.

Deciding she didn't have time to stand around being paranoid and spooked by her own reflection, she reached towards the cheese filled snack crackers just as another hand swooped up the last pack of them.

With narrowed eyes, she followed the hand to the muscular arm of a teenage boy she didn't recognize with green eyes and his brown hair still styled despite being covered with a mist of rain.

"Oh." Theo said, looking down to the crackers in his hand with a small laugh at realizing they were reaching for the same thing. He was about to open his mouth to offer to find himself something else and let her have the pack of crackers, but before he got the chance, Avery reached forward and plucked them from his hand.

When he looked at her with a stunned expression, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What? I saw them first."

"I was going to let you have them-" He started to say, but the blonde cut him off as she interrupted; "Nobody lets me have anything."

Waving the pack of crackers she pointed out, "If I want something, I take it."

He raised his eyebrows in response to what she said, as she arched a perfectly manicured brow of her own back at him and asked, "What? It's worked for me so far."

Lowering his head with a laugh, his eyes scanned her over before locking with hers from under his brows as he replied, "Yeah, I don't doubt that."

"Hey, I…" He started to say, but Avery smirked at him before spinning on her heels and walking towards the cash register leaving him to talk to himself as he continued under his breath, "Apparently don't have anything to say important enough for you listen to."

Walking over to the other side of the snack aisle, he grabbed a bag of chips and watched Avery through the window as she filled up her tank before speeding away.
